#NAME

PPI::Token::QuoteLike - Quote-like operator abstract base class

#INHERITANCE

PPI::Token::QuoteLike
isa PPI::Token
    isa PPI::Element

#DESCRIPTION

The PPI::Token::QuoteLike class is never instantiated, and simply provides a common abstract base class for the five quote-like operator classes. In PPI, a "quote-like" is the set of quote-like things that exclude the string quotes and regular expressions.

The subclasses of PPI::Token::QuoteLike are:

#qw{} - PPI::Token::QuoteLike::Words
#`` - PPI::Token::QuoteLike::Backtick
#qx{} - PPI::Token::QuoteLike::Command
#qr// - PPI::Token::QuoteLike::Regexp
#<FOO> - PPI::Token::QuoteLike::Readline

The names are hopefully obvious enough not to have to explain what each class is. See their pages for more details.

You may note that the backtick and command quote-like are treated separately, even though they do the same thing. This is intentional, as the inherit from and are processed by two different parts of the PPI's quote engine.
